Closed petition Fund better support for women experiencing pregnancy loss and miscarriage
Closed on
On 5th March I should have been in labour, instead I started this petition to try to change a system that let me and so many women and babies down.
My blog is here if you wish to know more details and why these changes should be implemented: https://medium.com/shout-in-the-dark/a-miscarriage-of-law-30d63ff3ac4e

All hospitals should offering counselling and remembrance certificates after pregnancy loss.
All staff in EPAU and maternity undergoing training in language use and bereavement.
All hospitals to offer a scan and surgical management within a week of miscarrying/confirmatory scan.
Optional statutory maternity leave and death registration from 16 weeks.
